torneys In the recent mandamus proceed
ings which wer brought against him by W.
H. Queenan, concerning the possession of
the tnx commissioner's bonks. Olllln was
.sustained by the court In all his conten
tions and he now asks the city counr.ll to
reimburse him for the expanse he Incurred
1n the cults. Ills claim Is based on the
theory that he did not bring the action
and that It was to the Interest of the city
at large that his rights In the matter of
the public records be maintained; that the
u1t was not of his Individual Interest or
benefit, but that the city had received a
benefit at the hands of the court, and should
therefore bear the expense. Home of the
councllmen bold that whereaa the city at
torney was not employed nor his advice
ought by the defendant that the city Is
hot under obligation to ray for any special
counsel. Mr. Queenan, being a city official
also, he may urge the same grounds that
the city pay his fees. He has only the dis
advantage that he brought the suit himself
and that his contention was not sustained.

Mayor Hoctor la putting forth strenuoua
efforts to get the Champion Iron Works of
Canton, O.. to complete the Contract for
the cell work on the city Jail. The work Is
long overdue and nothing has been done.
The company claims that It was delayed
five weeks In the securing of the necessary
plana and specifications and could not there
fore complete the work on schedule time. In
the meantime the delay In the cellwork has
held back the contractors on the building
to some extent. The floor Is now being laid

This call means business important busl- ; inp from the other. And they weren't rob

the wires "All ready?"
Then slowly the Instruments clicked off
this dispatch to every station:
"Train wreckera at Cresson; rush officers
earliest possible moment."
The railway detectives were rounded up
All along the line. Trains Were soon taking
them to Cresaon, where the wreckers were
reported to be at work. The entire body
of employes of the great system at onoe
took up the task of catching the miscre
ants. It was a track walker who made the dla-
covery. Kor montha past train wreckers

management had spent thousands or aol-
lars In trying to land them, but with no
luck so far.
And the xealous track walker thought
that at last It had come to him to run
down the quarry. He rushed to the nearest
telegraph tower, breathlessly told his start-
ling news and In a Jiffy the wires were
working.
"We'll get them this time, sure," gasped
the man. winded by his run. "I saw one
of them a big fellow and he was pound
Ing away at a rail, trying to break it!"
Faat as locomotives could pound the rails
came the detectives a corps of 100 of them
when all met at Cresson. near the summit
of the Alleghanles, twelve miles from Al-
toona. Pa. The still breathless track j
walker was there to guide them right to
the spot where he had seen them at work.
Meanwhile anxious officials of the railroad
were gathered In the main offices In Phil
adelphia, Pittsburg, Altoona and Harrls
burg, eager for newa that the gang had
been captured. It was a nerve-racking
time.
"I saw htm plainly," aald the track
walker as he went along the line with the
detectives. "He waa down on his handa
and knees pounding a rail with a coupling
pin. He was trying to break It and derail
the express that's due In about thirty
minutes."
The detectives pressed on cautiously. Of
course they were sufficient In number to
round up and overpower any ordinary gang
of railway wreckera, but they didn't want
their quarry to get away; hence their cau
Hon. On the Trail.
As faat aa they could the posse hurried
up the track of the Cresson and Clearfield
division. They had gone two miles, when
the 'tyick walker warned them that they
were near the spot. They hardly deeded
any warning. Anyone could hear the
pounding on the rails around the curve In
the woods Just ahead. It was a sharp,
metallic click-plainly someone was trying
to break a rail and bring death and Injury
to scores of helpless passengers aboard the
express. ' The echo rang through the
mountains.
The detectives approached the curve.
They kept back while one of their number
slowly wriggled through the bushes until
He could catch a elear glimpse of the track
ahead. He saw something that chilled his
blood.
Right at the tracks. In plain view, was
a man pounding on the rati with something
that looked like a bar of Iron. Every one
of the detectives could hear the reverbera
tions of the steel as the man kept rapping
away. The expreaa waa almost due.
"We've got to work quick," whispered
the detective who had gone on ahead. "Get
ready to surround him, and If you see any
others of the gang don't let them get
away!"
"Why don't we take a shot at him from
here?" whispered one of the detectives;
"we can hit him sure."
"That's all right," answered their leader,
"but he's only one of the gang and we
want them all." ,
"That's right," muttered the others.
Cautiously the sleuths hemmed In the
man who waa trying to wreck, the train so
soon to come rushing along the rails to Its
destruction. More than one of them
gripped his revolver with a determination
to shoot first and get the man before any
one else was so lucky. The very boldness
of the fellow proved to the railway de
tectives that he would fight to the death-
not one of them had ever heard of a man
trying to break a rail In broad daylight
ao boldly and so careless of consequences.
One by one the officers crept up from
every direction. With pistols cocked snd
nerves at high tension, they closed In. Still
the man kept on hammering the rail. He
had no Idea of the cordon that was closing
In all around htm.
"fiow!" yelled the leader of the detec
tives. The 100 detectives, revolvers levelled at
the lone man, sprang out from the bushes
It looked as If they had suddenly popped
out of the ground. Refers the young man
who was pounding on the rail could realise
It lie waa seised, thrown to the ground and
pinned there, half a dozen big sleuths hold
ing down his arms and logs.
I. are of the Howard.
"We've got him at last." announced the
head detective. Joyfully, "but there's a lot
of us to claim the rewnru. Where's the
rest of the gang?"
"There isn't any gang." protested tho
yoiint r.ian faintly from beneath the horde
of detectives who were sitting upon him;
"can't yon see I'm all alone?"
"Cut It out," sneered a sleuth. "Tou
couldn't hold up a train In this part of
the country all by yourself. It takes more
than one to rob passengers nowadays."
"Who waa trying to rob passengers ?" rrj
tested the young man. quivering with In
dignation. "I'm no thief!"
"Chuck it," laughed the head detective,
"you'r the llow who's been wrecking
trains alons the line for months, but we've
got you now."
"How could I wreck a train with that?"
demanded the prlaoner, pointing to the
coupling pin whith he had dropped when
they pounced upon him. "A ml why are you
putting handcuffs on me?"
A laugh was his answer.
Then the young man became really fright
ened; Ms kneea shook and his voice trem
bled. H blanched at the sight pf the
handcuffs, and the detective ;rew corre
spondingly overbearing.
"No bluff, now," put in their spokesman.
"Where are your pals? Tou'd better peach
now If you want to stand any chance."
"I suppose I might as well tell you,"
Hurled out the young man: "eh i s up the
track a mile."
Here was newa. Indeed. It mas a woman
who hr.d helped In the train wrecks! Up
the track went the entire poaae as fast aa
Ihey could run. dragging their prisoner
along wl'.h them, protesting and stuttering

And Uuy did And the woman-pretty iliss

made a capture and pounced down upon
the girl without asking anybody a leave.
'"Why, Tom, what's the matter and what
are all these men doing, and w hy are y u
1 handcuffed?'' gasped the girl.
j "They aay I m a train wrecker and they
I won't let me tell them about you and our

The sleuths began to see that possibly

jThen the pair of them recovered their wits

End of the Mrsterr.
Imagine the crestfallen detectives, then,
as solemnly and silently they walked back
the three miles without any prisoners.'
"Yon sec," explained young Thomas
Blanchard, "we've been doing this a long
time, because the folks at home thought
we were too young to be sweethearts and
they wouldn't let us out as much as we
wanted. I was Just sending word to Stella
that dnd wouldn't let me off today, when
all those men jumped on me.
"We had a regular code of signals. Just

A REMARKABLE OPERATION
Thirty Feet of Silver Wire f eed In
' Sewing I'd of a Man's
Aortn.
Nature and a ' silver wire twenty feet
long have saved the life of Fred Williams
at the end of one of the most remarkable
operations on record. It waa for aneur
ism of the aorta and was performed upon
Williams In the Medlco-Chlrurgical hos
pital, Philadelphia, by Dr. James H. Mann.
The aorta Is the great parent trunk ar
tery through which blood Is distributed
from the heart to the smaller arteries
which run to all parts of the body. An
aneurism Is a thickening of the walls of
a blood vessel. It arlsea frequently as a
consequence of rheumatism and figures
largely as a cause of death In the vital
statistics of every city. The usual treat
ment for aneurism Is the removal of the
affected portion of the blood vessel and
the tying of the free ends of the artery.
When this has been done a compensatory
circulation Is set up by the blood vessels
near the one that has been ntinved, and
no serious results follow.
In the case of an aneurism of the aorta,
however, such an operation Is Impossible.
No artery or series of arteries can do the
work of this great blood canal. The only
thing to be done In such a case Is to
strengthen the weakened artery wall and
let nature do the ret.
Williams, who la 39 years old and a man
of Immense vitality, several months ago
noticed a swelling on his breast and went
to a hoapltal for treatment. The young
resident surgeon looked at It critically and
said It was a boll. He applied a local
anesthetic and prepared to lance the lump.
"Hold on there!" cried Williams. "I
don't want any operation yet."
It was lucky he stayed the young sur
geon's hand. Had he not done so. It seems
certain death would have resulted almost
Immediately.
The sufferer went to the Medlco-Chlrurgical
hospital. After aeveral days of
preparation he was placed upon the operat
ing table without having been etherized.
A hollow needle was plunged Into the
aorta, and through this the silver wire
was fed from a spool. The wire was about
as thick aa No. 00 cotton thread. There
was little pain and Williams aided the
surgeon by his stoicism.
"Go as far aa you like, doctor,'' he said,
as the operation was begun. The blood
pressure had been reduced to the mini
mum by a long stay In bed and by a star
vation diet. As the wire was fed Into the
great blood vessel It colled Uself closely
In the form of a cylinder which fitted ex
actly the Inner serface of the affected part.
Then the needle was withdrawn and the
little wound made by It waa dressed.
The Pro0"" tnt w thf " set up In t!ie
weakened part was this. The blood clotted
over the wires and "organised" a new wall,
strengthening that which had been weak
ened by the rheumatic growth. The
efficacy of this "organization" depends
upon the general condition of the patient
and the quality of his blood.
The operation upon Williams was per- ;
foHned two months ago. Last week he i
came Into the hospital with blood trickling
from a pln-potnt hole In his chest. Again
he was placed upon the operating table.
The blood was found to be coming from, a
wound which protruded the tip of a silver
wire. With Infinite care the whole strand
was taken out.
Then, to the amazement of everybody,
the bleeding stopped. There Is every In
dication Williams Is now absolutely well
and . that the new Inner coating of the
aorta Is sufficiently strong to re-enforce the
weakened tissue that lies outsldii It.
"I feel as well as I ever did In my life
and work every day without fatigue." said

ramage suits aggregating tSn.nnn against
Sheriff George I Dwlnnell, brought by
members of the Metropolitan Church as
sociation the formal name for the Jumpers
on the charge of false Imprisonment and
Inhuman treatment; special meetings of the
common council and an ordinance prohibit
ing street meetings except on special permit
and continued vlgllnnco in making arrests
when street meetings are held are the
latest developments In the battle.
Of the nineteen members of the sect who
have been arrested within the last month

refused to pay the $2 and costs Imposed
by th court declaring that "thgy preferred

Waukesha residents sympathize with the
Junipers, but the majority feel that the
religious enthusiasts provoked all the pun

The present legal proceedings date back
to th night of May'2S, when Sheriff Dwln

throwing hymn books al each other In
their delirium. This tumult was carried on"
in spite of the fact that Mr. Michael Hol

The prisoners Jumped ail the way to the
Jail, and In their cells they continued their
shouting and screamlrg until I o'clock In
the morning. Following a custom wnlcli
the sheriff says has ohtamed for many
years In Waukesha county when prisoners
are unruly the garden hose was turned on
them, but even this did not dampen their

the next day F. M. Messenger, one of the
heads of the organization, was placed under
arrest. Two days later six fo.OOO damaK
suits against the sheriff were started and
others are threatened.
The complainants all declare that they
are divinity students and that they were
in the peaceful pursuit of learning and
experience when they were arrested. They
charged that the sheriff and his deputies
pummeled them with clubs, and that later,
when they were at prayer and were carry

of voice the sheriff turned the hose on
them and drenched them to the skin.
In the court cases following the arrest
of the Jumpers the county waa forced to
bear the expense ot the defense as well
aa'Of the prosecution, even the witnesses
for the defendants being secured at th
xpense of the county. The prisoners filed
affidavits of Indigency, stating that they
has signed over all property to the associa
tion on being admitted to membership.
Their defense consisted largely of th cita
tion of scriptural verses, frequent allusion
being made to on In Psalms, "Cry aloud:
spare not; raise your voice like a trumpet."
Kan Bath for Typhoid Fever.
Fan baths Is the latest remedy employed
by th city hospital physician in the treat
ment of typhoid fever. Hertofore the Ice
plunge was used, and A patient whose
temperature had reached the danger point
was soused lm a bath tub filled with broken
Ice until his teeth rattled. This treatment
after a time was found to be too heroic,
aa the shock was too severe and pnoii
tnonia sometimes developed. Then Ice
water sponge baths were substituted, but
the fan baths, the doctors declare, ar
Just the thing.
The patient Is sponged off with Ice water
first, then a sheet that has been soaked
In Ice water la wrapped about the body
and more Ice water Is sprinkled on the
sheet. The current of an electric fan 1
then turned on him In such a way that he
gets the most benefit from the air that la
stirred up. Recent experiments have proved
this measure highly successful. Cincinnati
